Second time back from Australia and Sant'llario doesn't disappoint. The location, accommodation and service is spectacular. A special thanks to Christina who sets the standard for welcoming and hosting international guests. All of Italy should try to be this standard.

The location is beautiful. Like a typical tuscany postcard. We used it as a base to do day trips to Florence, Pisa, Siena, San Gimignano, Volterra, and Livorno. There's not a lot of nightlife nearby, so its more for a peaceful getaway. The kids loved it!

Dear guest, we really thank you for spending holiday in our Estate and for writing this positive feedback. It's true, our property is located very well for who like to visit most of the tuscany cities and towns. All the most important places are about half hour far from us.
And if during your holiday, the weather is great, you...

I had been around 25 countries and different places, I found this place breathtaking, I'm looking forward to go back, it is been one of the most beautiful places I had been, the countryside, the service and the location makes it hard to beat.

... which is that if I tell the truth about this place, it will only contribute to it becoming even more popular... and then it might be harder for me to book next time !!!
Anyway, in a single word... fabulous !!!

The villa was perfect for our family of four. Enough room to spread out. Grocery stores nearby to use the kitchen. Wifi to do some work. Beautiful area to walk and explore. Bought done wine and olive oil from grapes and olives grown on site - made for sine cool gifts

4-night stay in the main building in a very large and wonderfully furnished apartment (w/ AC). The estate is beautiful, nice pool, many cypresses, magnificent view. Road to the parking lot is a bit rocky and rough, but can be managed even with a small car.
Breakfast selection was limited, but all items were very good, fresh fruits, good coffee....

Lovely apartment with private garden and barbeque and pool on the doorstep. If you want peace and tranquillity this is the place. Ideal for a morning stroll along one of the many footpaths. Excellent on site restaurant and first class service in all areas.

The rooms were fabulous, amazingly decorated just automatically made you feel super relaxed. The staff at the reception was super helpful. The surroundings were amazing. To get to the pool you had to walk for about 5 min but it was a nice walk with an amazing few (you can also take the car but why would you!) 1 night...

The hotel was perfect again as last year. This time we had a better and bigger room with very nice view. The place is very good located so we did lots of trips again. The staff was nice and friendly and the food was great on breakfast and also in the restaurant. Perfect!!!

This tenuta is a little place of haven on earth. Our room was spacious and had everything we needed. The property is well maintained. The restaurant on site has an excellent price/quality ratio. The views are for free.
We will be back. Maybe already next year.

“Call and ask for directions!
if you don't call at least set your GPS to the city: "Montaione",
The place is not in Gambassi.
How ever if you do end up in Gambassi...and it's located at your left side - turn right from the main road about 20 meters after Gambassi's main entrance - where the church is.
and then go on with the road- not paved, not for sport's cars! you will cross a small river (!) and then go up the hill. where the mirror is (so you'll know if any other cars are coming) turn right to the parking lot.”
